Creating a handmade custom DIY surreal art collage is easy! I share my tips and techniques on how I create my analog collages as I cut out pictures and illustrations out by hand with a small pair of scissors and a craft knife. Finding inspiration from old books is one of the most fun steps to this process. These can come from used books, encyclopedias, magazines, vintage postcards, or anything else you can find lying around your house. I find most of my books and magazines from thrift stores, antique stores, flea markets, Craigslist, or even on the side of the road! Watch as I arrange my elements and try different ideas as I talk through my process to create my final design.

Collages made out of paper have a custom made feel that you can't get from a digital collage made in Photoshop. And, there is an added challenge of only being able to use materials that you have access to!

Want to try creating your own? Just grab a magazine, scissors, and a glue stick!

The Dino wedding would be an awesome greeting card. The bat kids too. Would be so fun

I liked the first set of 10, a lot. I loved the last set of 20

Hi Rosie! I've only recently discovered your channel and I just wanted to share that I love how you share your process, and how open you are with sharing work that you are proud of AND work that you think could be improved. It's a difficult thing for many artists to do and it's so refreshing to see someone embrace all parts of their art and creative process ❤️

Speaking of city life, I wouldn't begrudge a little downtown sushi.
But, the fish and bird bananaram was so energizing!

[leeojascastro]

Fabulous, love the phone case, wedding album and your mini book!

[kazzcrofts]

well done. I really enjoyed watching all these and learned a lot

[gamewrit]

Pausing to comment at number 36 - landscape with coral, flying fish, moose, owl - because I like it a lot. 👍

Queen of my collage castle. I ❤️ Rosie. I'm a fruit, and a middle-aged man so I can say that with all affection and no hankey pankey.

[janetseager]

Rosie, I discovered you just in time. So looking forward to sharing 2023 with you

My fav is #14. I love the complexity. I remember as a little kid staring at my sister’s Sargent Pepper Beatles album forever and being fascinated by all the nuances, or as a kid, the many different images meshing together. Also love, love, love the dolls, so creepy cool.

[berniceseigel]

You should be so proud of yourself. I enjoy watching you.xoxoxo

VERY clever! Loved them all. Humor, intrigue and all unique. Wonderful!

I'm a kindergarten art teacher teaching in China and when I showed the students your "fox soup" they loved it! They laughed and it inspired them to be more creative with their own magazine collages.

Hi Rosie!
I love your art-your style, enthusiasm, self critic, fostering of growth, single mindedness & staying true to your ‘kind of art’...
I have a few ideas to consider. 1.Options in size and color of your substrate [tall black, tan or grey rectangle for the giraffe bride which allows you to use the neck & for other subjects that get rejected because they are too big]. The nature of magazines and books used as your medium calls for larger substrates
2.Use of colored mediums (markers, colored pencils, paints, oil pastels, rub ‘n buff or similar products, adult crayons, inks, etc.) in a post-completion phase [to strengthen the pieces that need more color or better definition of the subject],
3. Use of images with a matte surface or colored copies or matte medium to remove the glossy finish.
Consider changing the way you describe your less successful pieces the ones that ‘make no sense’. The point and fun of all your work is the absurdity of it., so in a sense none of your pieces make sense, ie giraffe in a wedding dress. All your work has a clear point or idea. The less successful pieces have no focus or clear point.
Your work is amazing. It makes you and all those who view it laugh and happy. Quite a mission statement!
I hope these comments come across as my honest opinion and viewed in a positive sense as that is my intention. I’m not intending to be cruel or pass judgements in any way. (I’m not a troll.) I love your work and look forward to each new video!! It’s a dose of happiness and laughter to help combat the blues.
Fondly,
🐝 🤗

I must say all of your collages make me smile. I guess with the ones down on the list you could put them on a really big canvas. Make a collage of collages. Looking forward to more of your super fun art. Thanks for giving us so many smiles.

Great year in review! Happy New Year Rosie!

[bettyyve]

Fantastic, looking forward to more collage.
Happy new year!

[loriwalter]

I love your channel. My favorite has to be the hippos.

[denisewhitaker]

Rosie, fantastic work and you should feel so good about all of it! The 'flower house', is that the name? Isn't it the 'green house'..?! One of my favorites is the woman having coffee among the city buildings. Love to you and keep 'me coming please, Denise
